Competence? Yes. Actually getting famous vs Founding a company? I'd say founding a sustainble company is more much more likely.

There tons of sustainble small businesses around. Probably won't start the next apple, but tons of fogcreek style companies are around.

Getting famous is actually pretty easy if that's what you focus on. It is, however, also pretty pointless.
